Hi Peter, |
| 17 |
|

There is no much information to understand what exactly you tried |
| 19 |
already. |
| 20 |
I use claws-mail for a few years now, have no issues, it's a great |
| 21 |
mail client, but whenever I want to start fresh I do go around all |
| 22 |
settings (general) and account and tweak things, so I don't remember |
| 23 |
what defaults are. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Take a look at "Configuration > Preferences" under "Mail Handlig > |
| 26 |
Receiving" in "Automatic checking" section "Check for new mail on |
| 27 |
start-up" is set (if you want this) (interval checking if you |
| 28 |
want that as well). |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Also take a look at "Configuration > Edit Accounts" then select your |
| 31 |
account and "Edit", under "Account > Receive" is "'Get Mail' checks for |
| 32 |
new messages on this account" set. |
